About

Trajectories is a Canadian-Swedish collective consisting of three artists: Malte Leander, Charles Harding and Connor Cook, coming together during the global pandemic lockdowns of 2020-21 and their aftermath.

Their works explore soundscape, electroacoustic and ambient music through audiovisual artworks and performances, and frequently utilize transformation of original recordings for compositional material. Trajectories has been working to develop a nuanced approach to sound art and compositional processes, involving research of local history, exploring, collecting and iterating upon recordings that capture impressions of important characteristics of the soundscapes inherent to these environments.

The mandate and goal of the collective is to further advance their artistic research in and around acoustic ecology, soundscape composition and ecological performance explored in musical releases, sound installations and audiovisual live performances. The group seeks to further explore the meetings and overlaps between human and non-human elements, reflecting upon ecological agency within natural systems and entities, with the environment as both backdrop, conductor and co-performer. 

Trajectories has since their initial forming in 2020, released two full-length albums of original compositions, have gone on two artist residencies in Scandinavia, and performed their latest audiovisual performance in four different countries.
